I have a lead on peter wright in good condition(says the seller) He's asking 250$ dollars for it. Weight according to my calculations should be around 170#. go for it?

yes

I figured haha, I will be heading up to check it out tomorrow or saturday for sure!

I hear really good things about them, and being a beginning smith i think it would be great to have such a great tool

Curufin,

Go for it. No matter the condition you will still use it and it will serve you well. I got two PWs a 123 and a 144, perfect for moving around the shop and setting up stations. Good luck.

Peter

I hope one day i will be doing the same thing, i've been into blacksmithing for a two or so months now and its all i think about. It's a load of fun

ummm you haven't bought it already

My dad is driving up to pay for it tomorrow, then I'll be helping him pick up saturday! I'm excited

Yes if your calculations are right. Should be stamped 122= 170lbs

I got the anvil today, my dad brought it home right after school, i fired up the forge made a few nails and i'll tell you what for 250$ this PW was a steal, it just has some rounded corners, a piece of rail road track doesn't even compare to this baby!

congratulations, my friend. excellent investment and a world of pleasure are now before you!

Thank you very much!

the night I bought my 700 lb hay budden, I couldn't sleep that night, I was so excited...............33 years later, I am still excited!

I am still itching to go out and do a little more, but its dark already and i dont have a shop so im outside with no light or shelter and its getting pretty nippy latley, cant wait for tomorrow though!
